Status: offline 		i tried to when i had my mini-t. putting tape on half the back wheels kind of worked. once my MLST arrives, ill be trying it with that.

Status: offline 		a dbox is a gyro, you know like what they use in helicopters to stabelize them in flight. SUPPOSEBLY it helps stabilize your car better when you drift. but it's $140...................RIPOFF!

Status: offline 		well i bought the mini like 2years ago and hopped up the motor, gears, and battery. i cant remember exactly what motor/gears are in it.. i can check and get back to you all on that one.. i have since then locked the rear diff and took fuel tubbing and put it on the shafts of the rear suspension so it has no give at all..and also added lead weights to the rear to keep it from spinning out. tires right now are just regular tires. i have tried tape on them and have had no success, it just spins with tape.. the setup i have right now is pretty good.. i will try to have pics and a vid up soon!! ;-)

Status: offline 		rwd drifting in 1/10 is 99.9% impossible. with 1/18th it is impossible waaaaaaay to small. ur probally just spinning out and thinking it's a drift. i drift with my tt-01 all the time so i know what im talking about.

Status: offline 		it's very difficult. I tried it with my mini-t and with a full battery I could maybe get 3 or 4 decent drifts out of it. It mostly just spun out. Still fun though. I would like to try it with one of my 2WD 10th scales.

And IN MY OPINION you are not drifting with a RWD mini... you are just spinning out because it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a controled drift with a RWD Mini
